Question
A reference frame attached to the earth
Options
A.is an inertial frame by definition
B.can not be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving round the sun
C.is an inertial frame because Newton′s law are applicable in this frame
D.cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its own axis.
Solution
A rotating/revolving frame is accelerating and hence non inertial. Therefore, correct options are (b) and (d).
